hi guys
just another question relating to my previous i am installing a dural wp membrane (as recomended thanks again dave) in my wetroom on aqua panel boards . regarding the type of adhesive i am aware i have to use powdered flexible the questions i would like to ask are
1. Should i let the first layer of adhesive set with the membrane attached, before fixing the tiles with the second layer, as surely with the weight of the tiles would they not pull off the membrane ?
2. Should i use rapid set first attach the membrane let that set then use normal or rapid on the tiles ? or how would you do it ?
once again the benefit of your experience would be greatly appreciated thanks again.

Hi pippa, whether to use rapid or standard set is really down to how quick you are at working, if your new to tiling ( as I'm assuming ) then go for a standard set, especially this weather, and yes, fix the membrane down and let the adhesive set, whether it's rapid or standard.

Hope that helps.

I haven't used Dural Wp but Schluter Kerdi is similar and you don't need to wait for the adhesive attaching the membrane to dry, you can tile straight away.....

With Dural, if you need to fix tiles straight away, you should should use some ply crawling boards to spread the weight. Otherwise you will leave indentations on the mat from your feet.

Ermmmmmmmm did I miss something, I thought it was walls not floors ????

As above, got confused.

I always use rapid set flexible as I find it grips the membrane better than standard set.

thanks very much for all your replies looks like rapid set it is cheers guys

Perhaps Phil is really Spiderman !

Let the adhesive set, if you have to adjust a tile then when you pull it off the membrane will come with it .. so yes let it set..

It is like wall papering and use a mosaic trowel to apply the adhesive and usr the flat side of the trowel to smooth the membrane.. just like papering..

remember to keep the adhesive fairly wet but not sloppy..

So It is just me who crawls up walls, I read WP as CI, never mind, I will make sure I read posts, properly, before answering
